Heracgus's hometown was Mitias, also known as the Templar, which was the smallest city-state in Besa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But in Besa, no one dared to underestimate the Mitias, the Mitish warriors were also known as the Templars, when the city-state of Bessa sent troops to attack Mitias, only a thousand Templars defeated the Bessa army of 100,000 people by relying on a night attack, and later the record of this war in the history books of Bessa is that the Templars seemed to fall from the sky, and the soldiers of the city-state of Bessa were killed and wounded because of their trampling on each other, and countless people were killed, and the wailing of the dead could be heard for hundreds of miles, and they did not disperse for several days, and the corpses piled up in the river, causing the river to be cut off.
The men of Mitias, from the age of three, are sent to training camps where they are sent to the most rigorous training, and when they reach the age of twelve, they are exiled to the primeval forest, with no food or weapons, and it is up to them to survive or not.
In this three-year survival in the wild, the weak were eliminated and made a feast for the beasts, and those who survived were the strongest and best warriors, in the forest, they were terrible hunters, and on the battlefield, they were cold-blooded killers.
Only those who complete the three-year trial and emerge alive from the forest will be awarded the title of Warrior, also known as Templar.
They don't have a surname, they only have a first name, they don't need to remember their parents and grandparents, they don't need the glory of the family, Mithias is their greatest glory, they are elite warriors who were born for Mitias, fought and died for Mitias.

Heracgus was the king of the Templars.
Originally, Heracgus had retired, but his retirement was not due to his age, on the contrary, he was not yet thirty years old, and the reason for his retirement was because he had a conflict with King Besa.
His cousin was supposed to marry the princess of Besa, Jessica Pross, and the marriage had already been booked, but just as the two were about to get married, Jessica suddenly regretted the marriage.
Peter Prologs, the king of Besa, was very fond of the princess Jessica, and did not reprimand Jessica for her divorce, nor did he explicitly express his objections, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the matter.
Not only did Heracgus's cousin feel humiliated, but Heracgus himself thought that the king was deliberately humiliating him by using the incident.
The youngest third commander of the kingdom of Besa, without the prior consent of the king and the royal court, and without greeting anyone, simply left the house and returned to Mittias with his wife.
I have to say, King Peter is indeed a very willful person, don't you want to retire, I happen to be happy to see it, keep you in the army, your prestige is higher than that of me as a king, you leave early, I will be at ease earlier.
For the retirement of Heracgus, King Peter not only did not want to keep him, but almost sent a salute to see him off.
This time, the country of Besa was attacked by the joint attack of Ningnan and the country of Feng, and the main force of Wang Ting's army was dragged in Duji, and the wind army drove straight in, menacing.
In fact, as early as when the royal army of Besa and the army of Ningnan had just started the national war in Duki, some royal ministers proposed to King Peter to return to Herakgs.
King Peter accepted the advice of the ministers and sent someone to invite him, but he sent only a trivial official, and it was obvious that this so-called invitation was just a matter of situation, and he did not really want to invite Heracgus back.
It was not until the Zhenjun army fought a series of battles and attacked the Mikun region all the way to the Mikun region and destroyed the city of Ulan that King Peter finally couldn't sit still and realized that the country of Besa had reached the point of life and death, and if he could not invite Herakgus out, he was in danger of destroying the country.
This time, King Peter was really anxious, and went to Mityas himself and invited Heracgus out of the mountain.
It's just that the king personally went out, and Heracgus didn't give face and refused to see it. In the end, it was the queen who came forward and persuaded Heracgus's wife first, and it was under the persuasion of his wife that Heracgus reluctantly agreed to return to the army, but he also put forward the condition that he would serve Besa, and only this time, after this battle, he would still return to his hometown and live a life in paradise.
The entry of Heracgus meant the entry of the Templars, which was not good news for the Windy Nation.
Rilens told everything he knew, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Clara and said, "That's all I know, I ...... Can I go now?"
Clara didn't say anything immediately, and looked sideways at Shangguan Xiu in the corner, who shrugged indifferently, meaning that Clara would just watch it herself.
Receiving Shangguan Xiu's instructions, Clara nodded to Lirens and said with a smile: "Mr. Lilangs, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you this time, you can go, of course, you can also bring your gold coins!"
Rylance's pale face finally regained a little blood, and he bowed to Clara in thanks, then bent down and gathered the two small wooden boxes on the ground together.
With all his strength, he was about to lift the two wooden boxes together, and at some point he detoured to Clara behind him, and with a cold glint in his eyes, he silently untied a rope from his waist.
Seeing the opportunity, she suddenly attacked without warning, and quickly wrapped the rope around his neck from Rylons' back, and then, grabbed both ends of the rope with both hands, pulled it back hard, and at the same time lifted her right leg high and pressed her knee against Rylons's lower back.
"Giggle......s" Rylance's throat made a strange noise, his pale face instantly turned red, he first desperately pulled the rope around his neck, but he couldn't pull it at all, after a while, his hands struggled to grab back, but unfortunately, he could grab Clara's clothes, but he couldn't tear her away from his back.
Rylans' struggle grew weaker and weaker, and it didn't take long for his body to slowly soften. Looking at him again at this time, his eyes were bloodshot, his mouth was wide open, his tongue was long and long, his facial features were twisted and hideous, and his face was gray.
Grasping the rope hard, she pulled it back for a while, and after making sure that Rylens was not moving and dead, Clara slowly let go of the rope.
She first touched his carotid artery, then stood up, walked to Shangguan Xiu's approach, and whispered: "My lord, Lirens has seen us, once he is caught, we will all be exposed!"
Shangguan Xiu didn't care about the life or death of Lilangs, and he asked, "Does Herakgs really deserve the reputation of the god of war?"
"This ......" Clara has now taken refuge in the Wind Country, and in front of Shangguan Xiu, it seems inappropriate to praise Besa's generals, but she can't lie, after all, it involves military affairs.
Seeing that she was silent, Shangguan Xiu saw through her thoughts and said with a smile: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Heracgus is the only heretic in the army who has reached the rank of commander, and the only one in history!" Mitias's religious beliefs are completely different from Besa's, they have their own set of religious systems, for Besa, where politics and religion are integrated and the clergy is still above the regime, it is difficult to imagine tolerating the existence of infidels in the country, and it is even more unimaginable to tolerate heretics to achieve the rank of commander, it is not difficult to see the importance of Mittias in Besa, the high status of Heracgus in the Besa army and even in the hearts of the Besa people.
Clara's words were vague, but Shangguan Xiu still understood, he narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said leisurely: "It is a great blessing in life to be able to fight against a master, and I am looking forward to meeting him on the battlefield in the future." ”
Hearing his words, she lowered her head and coughed dryly twice, who can say such a thing, there may only be Shangguan Xiu in the world. She changed her words and asked curiously, "Why did your lord suddenly come to Vasa City?"
"Curious. ”
"Huh?"
"Looking at the report from our side, the number of troops in Vasa City is 250,000, and I really can't understand why there are so many troops in Vasa City, so I came here in disguise and wanted to see with my own eyes. "Shangguan Xiuneng secretly visited Vasa, and he has nothing to do.
The four legions of the Zhenjun Army are now divided into four routes, one is stationed in place, and the three roads are advancing at the same time, each corps has its own corps commander command, and there is a military division Meng Qiuchen who is in charge of the overall situation, and it has become irrelevant whether there is Shangguanxiu in the army.
Hearing that there were as many as 250,000 Besa defenders in Vasa City, Shangguan Xiu was indeed taken aback, since his own side entered the Mikun area, there were no less than 100,000 Besa troops annihilated, and Vasa City could still gather so many troops, he felt incredible.
If this news is true, then a series of strategies and plans formulated by the Zhenjun military must be modified, and the main city of the region garrisoned by the 250,000 army cannot be defeated by one of its own legions, and even if it gathers all the three armies together, it may not be able to defeat Vasa City.
The stakes were so high that Shangguan Xiu couldn't hold back it, so he personally went to Vasa City to make an unannounced visit to see if there was really an army of 250,000 here. As a result, he hadn't even entered Vasa City, and here in the town of Omar, he happened to meet Yueming and Clara who were making an intelligence deal with Rirans.
After hearing his intention, Clara laughed, she cleared her throat, and said: "My lord, Vasa City does have 250,000 garrisons, but the main garrison is temporarily recruited from the people, not a regular army, not even a local army. In addition, there is a shortage of weapons and ammunition in Vasa City, which is only enough for 50,000 soldiers, so the current Vasa City seems to have a large number of defenders, but it is actually vulnerable. It's just that Lirens also said just now that the royal court is collecting weapons and ammunition from all over the country and transporting them to Vasa City, once the weapons and ammunition collected by the royal court arrive in Vasa City, then the combat power of the defenders of Vasa City will be greatly improved, and at that time, Vasa City will really be difficult to capture!"
It takes at least two or three years of hard training to train an archer, and two or three days of familiarity with it is enough to train a firecracker, and firecrackers don't need accuracy, as long as the direction of aiming is roughly right. It takes up to seven months to make a hard bow, and one day is enough to make a bow and arrow with the help of a mold, and it takes at least three days to polish it, and three days is enough to produce thousands of projectiles and gunpowder.
This is the change that the advent of firearms has brought about.
Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "When will the weapons and ammunition of the Besa Royal Court arrive in Vasa City?"
"Within half a month. ”
"Then, the current city of Vasa is equivalent to an empty garrison of 250,000. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"I see. The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, the army of 250,000 is only enough firearms for 50,000 people, this seemingly powerful Vasa City is actually a piece of fat in a bowl. Swallow this piece of fat, and there will be no more threats from your own side in the territory of Mikun Map.
His eyes were deep, and he muttered word by word: "Take this opportunity to take Vasa City in one go!"
